(Rob Potter image) From work on the brain to children's mental health, research recognized for impact on patient care More than 20 years ago, Adrian Owen rescued a woman from the gray zone. Kate Bainbridge, a 26-year-old schoolteacher, had lapsed into a coma three days after coming down with flu-like symptoms. While her infection cleared in a few days, Bainbridge awoke from the coma but was diagnosed as being in a vegetative state. Her story and those of many other patients are part of Owen's best-selling book Into the Gray Zone, a part of his body of research done to understand the relationship between brain, mind and consciousness.
